SELPA Governance

The East County SELPA's geographic service area is the geographic boundaries of the following school districts: Alpine Union School District, Barona Charter School, Cajon Valley Union School District, Grossmont Union High School District, Jamul-Dulzura Union School District, La Mesa-Spring Valley School District, Lakeside Union School District, Lemon Grove School District, Mountain Empire Unified School District, and Santee School District. 

The governance structure of the Special Education Local Plan Area (SELPA) is established by agreement among the governing boards of the member Local Educational Agencies (LEAs).  It consists of the Superintendents' Council, which sets policy, and the Community Advisory Committee (CAC), which advises on policy. The CAC members are appointed by the governing boards of the LEAs, consistent with the CAC bylaws. The SELPA Administrator, through the utilization of SELPA staff and appropriate committees, carries out the activities and duties assigned by the Superintendents' Council and the Local Plan.
